Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify the concepts war, diplomacy and balance of power by a brief theoretical revision which has different perspectives formulated by some authors. This revision will allow us to approach an accurate definition of them. On the other hand, it tries to analyze the relation of the concepts based on a complex interaction in a contemporary war conflict in order to present the Falklands War (1982) case under an analytical account. Also, how the Government of Argentina and United Kingdom had to face the war and how the Government of Chile took part in the dispute due to a personal motivation about national security participating with the British Country discreetly. Then, it is expected to determine if the Chilean behavior, based on the observation and analysis, met a guiding principle of the international relations (the Balance of Power).
